SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code
(U.S.C.). Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the
scope of the Agency’s authority. This
rulemaking is promulgated under the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
authority described in Subtitle VII, Part
A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it will
establish Class E airspace to support
new RNAV procedures at Hughes
Airport, Hughes AK, for the safety and
management of aircraft within the
National Airspace System.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 6279; January 21, 2021)
for Docket No. FAA–2020–1193 to
establish Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the earth at
Hughes Airport, Hughes AK, in support
of IFR operations. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
Two comments were received. One
commenter supported the establishment
of airspace in support of IFR operations.
The other commenter stated that the
new airspace would cause people to
stay at an unsafe altitude when flying in
poor weather. The FAA does not
concur. This new volume of airspace
does not preclude aircraft from flying in
this area, but will provide additional
protection in marginal weather. The
floor of the new airspace will be 700 feet
AGL versus 1,200 feet AGL. It will
expand the basic VFR weather
minimums visibility requirement, in
this airspace, from 1 mile to 3 miles and
the clearance from clouds will change
from clear of clouds to 500 feet below
the clouds, 1,000 feet above and 2,000
feet horizontally. The new airspace
expands the opportunity for operations
in both instrument and visual
meteorological conditions and increases
the efficiency of the airport and safety
of operations in the area.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020 and
effective September 15, 2020, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020. FAA
Order 7400.11E is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
E:\FR\FM\15APR1.SGM
15APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 71 / Thursday, April 15, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by establishing Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Hughes Airport, Hughes
AK.
The Class E airspace will be
established within a 3.8-mile radius of
the airport and within an area 2 miles
each side of the 194° bearing extending
from the airport 6.4 miles south. This
area will protect aircraft on approach to
runway 36 as they descend through
1,500 feet above ground level (AGL). In
addition, an extension in the shape of a
dogleg will be established 1.8 miles
each side of the 14° bearing extending
from the 3.8-mile radius to 6 miles north
of the airport and then 1.8 miles each
side of the 39° bearing from a point in
space, lat. 66°08′14″ N, long. 154°12′17″
W, forming an angle that extends from
the 3.8-mile radius northeast 9.5 miles
from the airport. This section will
protect aircraft on approach to runway
18 descending through 1,500 feet AGL
and those aircraft on departure until
reaching 1,200 feet AGL.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:42 Apr 14, 2021
Jkt 253001
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class E airspace

The Class E airspace will be established within a 3.8-mile radius

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative

that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the

Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical

with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
